Synopsis "Jack Frost, Volume 5: The end Becomes the Beginning (The Guardians) "

The Guardians' powers are put to the ultimate test in their final battle in this thrilling conclusion to the epic chapter book series from William Joyce. When we last saw the Guardians, they were celebrating their victory during Bright Night, the final great Battle of the Moon, where they defeated Pitch once and for all. Or so they thought. Now, many years later, the Guardians have settled into their final selves, embracing their public images and the Earth Holidays. But the world has not been without evil since Pitch's imprisonment. All the Guardians feel the weight of lurking menace, but Jack Frost--now half human, half of his former self Nightlight--feels it the most. Jack's transition from Nightlight to Guardian was not an easy one. Always inclined to keep to himself, Jack has become especially isolated from the other Guardians since his transformation. Yet it is Jack who Ombric Shalazar (once a great wizard, now known as Father Time) trusts with a tremendous secret. But for Jack to fully understand this secret, he must revisit his past--and finally tell his story. Jack's story, however, isn't the only one to be reopened; an old enemy whose chapter we thought closed will reappear and with him bring a darkness and destruction that will test the Guardians like never before. It's a battle of superlatives--the worse fighting the greatest, but where, oh where, is Jack?

William Joyce has left his personal mark on all kinds of works for children, both literary and cinematic. Among his illustrated albums are bestsellers such as: George Shrinks, Santa Calls, Dinosaur Bob and his Adventures with the Family Lazardo, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, A Day with Wilbur Robinson, Bently & Egg, and the Rolie Polie Olie series, which became a popular children's TV show that earned him no less than three Emmy Awards

However, Joyce is not just a recognized figure in the world of children's cinema and literature. His illustrations have frequently graced the cover of The New York Times, and his paintings are displayed in museums and art galleries across the United States. Hailed by Newsweek magazine as one of the hundred people to watch in the new millennium, his striking and unique stories and illustrations transport us to worlds full of fun, adventure, and fantasy

Moreover, William Joyce has lent his creative talent to several films, creating characters as famous as those in Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Robots. In 2012 Joyce won an Oscar for the animated short film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, and has ventured into the digital interactive realm with the spectacular app based on this short film
